Make the wires shorter, thicker, and cooler.
Also, use silver wires. If those are too expensive, then at least make sure you're using copper wires.

A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

E = mcΔT

725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

T - 27.5 = 14.31

T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left

Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

Length of the massless beam; $L = 4.00m$

Distance of support from the left end; $x = 3.00m$

First mass; $m1 = 31.3 kg$

Distance of beam from the left end( m₁ is attached to ); $x_1 = ?$

Second mass; $m_2 = 61.7 kg$

Distance of beam from the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); $x_1 = 0.273m$

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, $m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2$

we divide both sides by $g$

$m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2$

Next, we make $x_1$ , the subject of the formula

$x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]$

We substitute in our given values

$x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]$

$x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m$

$x_1 = 2.46m$

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

If an element's atomic mass and atomic number are known, what else can be determined? Give an example to demonstrate your unders

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an elements atomic mass and number are known you can also determine the number of protons and neutrons it has. You can also determine where it is on the periodic table. For example, if a element had a atomic mass of 10 then it would be higher up on the table then one with a mass of 20. Btw I do apex too.

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

$\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A$

Resistivity, $\rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}$

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}$

r = 0.00199 m

$r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}$

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rosalind is an impulsive child who seldom waits for her turn when playing with other children. Rosalind's father is also an impu

wariber [46]

Answer:

Alburt Bandura

Explanation:

Rosalind has learned to be impulsive and seldom waits for her turn when playing with other children, this trait she has learned from her father, who is also an impulsive man.

The theorist who would most likely suggest that Rosalind has learned to be impulsive from watching her father is Alburt Bandura. Alburt in his famous Bebo Doll experiment confirmed that children learn from the adults behavior in their life.
